ABOUT NOW FOSTER
Now Foster brings together social work, service design, lived experience and innovation to transform fostering in England. Our vision is to bring many more wonderful people into fostering so that more children and young people can experience stable, meaningful relationships with caring adults.
We are a small team with big ambitions. We value creativity, collaboration, learning and continuous improvement, and we work with partners who share our determination to do better for children and families.
ABOUT WEEKENDERS
Weekenders is our flagship programme. We recruit and support weekend foster carers – known as Weekenders – who build regular, long-term relationships with children and young people supported by local authorities. It is about showing up, making a difference and becoming an adult a young person can count on.
The programme is entering an exciting period of growth. We are expanding our partnerships with Regional Care Cooperatives, Fostering Hubs and local authorities across England, currently including London, the South West, North West and North East.
THE ROLE – Lead delivery, develop people and stay close to practice
As a Weekenders Programme Manager, you will turn our ambition into consistently excellent delivery. You will lead the day-to-day support of applicants across an agreed portfolio of areas, making sure prospective Weekenders receive a warm, responsive and motivational experience and that our partners can rely on us to deliver what we have agreed.
This is a people-management and delivery role with a strong connection to practice. You will line-manage Journey Guides, manage a network of independent social workers (ISWs), lead our prep group training and undertake some intro chats yourself.
The role does not carry a statutory caseload. It does carry real responsibility for safeguarding, practice quality, operational oversight and relationships across a growing, geographically distributed programme.
Delivery Leadership: Lead programme delivery
-
Take day-to-day responsibility for Weekenders delivery across an agreed portfolio of Fostering Hubs and local authority partners.
-
Turn partnership agreements and local processes into clear applicant journeys, with roles, handovers and timescales understood by everyone involved.

Plan capacity across Journey Guides, ISWs, prep group training and your own direct work so that delivery keeps pace with demand.
-
Monitor applicant progress, identify delays or risks early and work with colleagues and partners to find practical solutions.

Maintain a consistent Now Foster experience across regions while adapting thoughtfully to local contexts.
People Management: Manage and develop Journey Guides

-
Build a connected team culture in which people share learning, ask for help and take ownership.
Practice Oversight: Manage ISWs and assure practice quality
-
Build and maintain a reliable pool of qualified, registered ISWs to undertake initial home visits and teach on prep group training days.
-
Coordinate ISW recruitment, onboarding, availability, allocation and briefing in line with our safer recruitment and practice arrangements.
-
Set clear expectations for the quality, timeliness and tone of home visits, written outputs, training and feedback.
-
Review quality, provide constructive feedback and address concerns promptly, while forecasting capacity and arranging cover.
Training: Plan, staff and lead prep group training

-
Facilitate and teach on prep groups, modelling inclusive, relational and reflective practice.
-
Brief and support ISW co-facilitators so sessions are coherent, well-paced and grounded in the realities of fostering.
-
Make sure applicants can reflect meaningfully on children's needs, safer caring, trauma-informed care, cultural matching and working with fostering services.
-
Ensure observations and training feedback are recorded sensitively and on time, and use feedback to strengthen future delivery.
Relationships: Stay close to applicants and partners
-
Undertake some intro chats, particularly where additional experience, judgement or continuity is needed.
-
Step into complex applicant situations or difficult conversations without taking over work appropriately held by Journey Guides.
-
Develop trusted operational relationships with Fostering Hubs, Regional Care Cooperatives, local authority fostering teams and other partners.
-
Work through differences or blockages constructively, combining persistence with curiosity about other people's pressures and perspectives.
Programme Addurance: Safeguarding, quality and improvement
-
Promote a strong safeguarding culture and ensure concerns are recognised, recorded and escalated appropriately.
-
Maintain accurate, timely records and use pipeline data, feedback and practice observations to understand performance and improve delivery.
-
Contribute to the development of tools, guidance, communications and digital workflows as Weekenders grows.

Citizens UK
Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.
Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.
Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 475,000 people and winning over £3bn of better wages for people who need it most.
Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
Purpose
At Citizens UK, our organisers and project staff work within communities to develop leaders, strengthen organisations, campaign for change and organise across difference. There are various project roles and operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction. Onboarding and navigating this relational culture, and type of work, is supported by line managers and further training.

What if a brand marketing campaign could make more people aware that dementia is the UK’s biggest killer? Encourage someone caring for a loved one with dementia to seek support? Or inspire more people to use their voice and help make dementia a public priority?
That’s the kind of difference your work could make as Marketing Manager (Brand) at Alzheimer’s Society.
You’ll join our Brand Marketing team at an exciting time. Following the success of campaigns including The Ultimate Vow, The Long Goodbye and, currently, A Personal Appeal, we’re on a mission to grow the public’s awareness of dementia and Alzheimer’s Society’s unique role in tackling the devastation of this disease.
You’ll work alongside the Senior Marketing Manager (Brand) to deliver the next advert in the A Personal Appeal series, develop strategic, innovative brand activations and partnerships and help shape where our brand goes next.
Do you have experience of turning an insight into a powerful idea that people can’t forget? Or working with a variety of stakeholders to create work that reaches the right people in the right places to inspire action?
In this role, you’ll help us do exactly that.
Contract: This is a fixed-term contract until October 2027
Interviews: Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 16th September via MS Teams
What you'll do
You’ll help develop brand campaigns, activations and partnerships from an initial idea through to testing, creative execution and delivery across a range of channels. And you’ll work collaboratively throughout the process with both our trusted creative and media planning agencies and internal stakeholders to build sector-leading work.
You’ll:
- Lead and project manage the delivery of large-scale, multi-channel brand marketing campaigns, keeping projects on track and working to agreed deadlines and budgets.
- Develop and deliver paid media strategies across AV, digital, out of home and print channels.
- Work closely with our creative and media agencies, building positive relationships and creating the conditions for brilliant work that makes people sit up and take notice.

- Bring colleagues and stakeholders with you along the way, so people across the organisation understand and feel connected to our campaigns.
- Help shape our brand strategy and make sure everything we produce feels consistent, relevant and inclusive.
- Manage significant budgets, making thoughtful decisions about where our investment can have the greatest impact.
- Consult on the strategic and creative development of key fundraising products, finding opportunities to connect our brand and fundraising activity.Line manage and support the Senior Marketing Executive (Brand), helping them develop and grow in their role.
- Deputise for the Senior Marketing Manager (Brand) when needed.
Some days will involve big ideas and inspiring creative conversations. Others will be about budgets, timelines, analysing data and getting the small details just right. You’ll need to be comfortable with both sides of this coin, while keeping sight of why this work matters to our audiences.
About you
You’ll be a confident and thoughtful marketer who understands what makes a strong brand - and how good marketing can help an organisation connect with more people and achieve its goals.
You might have developed your skills in a charity, agency, commercial organisation or somewhere completely different. What matters is what you can bring to the role, the way you work with others and your motivation to create work that truly makes a difference.
We’re looking for someone who can:
- Lead and project manage large-scale, successful, multi-channel campaigns, balancing competing priorities and keeping delivery on track to tight deadlines.
- Develop and deliver multi-channel paid media strategies, using insights and performance data to make informed decisions.
- Manage, track and make effective use of significant budgets, with a clear focus on value and impact.
- Work collaboratively with creative and media agencies, providing clear direction, challenging constructively and creating space for ideas to bloom.
- Communicate clearly, build trusted relationships and influence a broad range of stakeholders, including senior colleagues.
- Understand how brand marketing can build trust, awareness and engagement to support a charity’s wider goals.
- Use research, data and insights to understand what matters to people, translating learnings into compelling brand campaigns and partnerships.
You’ll be comfortable bringing both creative flair and analytical thinking to your work. You’ll be organised, curious and able to manage your own workload, while also knowing when to involve others or ask for support.
Most importantly, you’ll care deeply about the work you produce and the people it’s reaching.
We value different perspectives, backgrounds and ways of thinking, and we know there are many different routes into a role like this.
If you can see yourself doing this role but don’t meet every single requirement, please don’t let that stop you from applying. We’d love to hear from you.
